Dec 11, 2012 – Oyo State Technical University In Ibadan Approved By NUC
Indigenes of Oyo State rolled out drums and gongs over the weekend as the National Universities Commission (NUC) finally approved the take-off of their solely owned Technical University in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The letter of recognition for the first Technical university in Nigeria was presented to the Governor of Oyo state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi by the Executive Secretary of NUC, Professor Julius Okojie in Abuja over the weekend.
Commenting, Ajimobi said, “Oyo state has always been a pacesetter. We started the first university in Nigeria and now we are setting up the first and
unique technical university in Nigeria… We already have a location by the Ibadan expressway and the first intakes will start academic activities in September 2013.”
Ajimobi added that the approval of the technical school will assist in accelerating the nation’s technological advancement and at the same time champion the course of national development.
Nigeria now has 125 universities with this approval, which include- 50 privately-owned, 38 state-owned and 37 federal universities.

highly uncalled for in such a time like this. so many projects to better the lives of ibadan people, makes them live comfortably are there beckoning on the Governor’s attention. How many roads are motorable in Ibadan? check on the polytechnic ibadan,s premises, you hardly see any well equiped, state of the art structure, not to talk of good road within the campus.
we all know that, handling such capital projects like university, construction of Bridges here and there, are means of funds diversion. May the good lord help us.

University education is a very important part of national development. Oyo state and particularly Ibadan the largest city needs more colleges for the future leaders.Good education with still keep the country and citizenry relevant and its a good weapon against current brood of political mediocres that constitute the political terrain of Nigeria. More schools and less illiterates will foster a better Nigeria in future

This is a good development. We thank God for this development. However, I pray that all that have been said about the new university will be achieved. Also, academic programmes should be such that are relevant to Nigerian Environment. We look ahead to contribute to the growth of the University. congratulations to Oyo State.
